China resumes bull semen imports, limited to the best 10% of bulls in each source country

Reuters reports China resumed bull semen imports in 2026 after a near halt, restricting them to semen from the best 10% of bulls in each producing country, according to officials, diplomats and genetics companies. Australian and Canadian suppliers are ramping up shipments, but reviews take more than four months per shipment. China aims to improve its herds, boost beef output and raise dairy profitability.
